I am sorry that the very wise Irving Rosenbaum has left us. He provided guidance to all of us who were fortunate to have worked with him at the NY C  Board of zeducatoion's Offic of Labor Relations and Collective Bargaining. May he rest in pteace.

I was privileged to have worked with Irving at the NYC Board of Education for many years. His wisdom and understanding were truly inspirational. I rember him vividly.
 My sympathy to his family

I only got to meet Irv once, over Facetime while working with Michael on Impastor.  But after hearing so many wonderful stories from Michael about Irv and Blanche, I feel like I knew them.  I will always consider my life poorer for never having been able to meet Irv in person.  Thanks for being such a wonderful, supportive, and loving influence on my friend.

So fortunate to meet Irv... we always loved when he and Blanche would come out and spend Thanksgiving with Michael, Eric, and our friends.  Lots of laughs.   Irv was always out there cheering us on at the turkey bowl, and helping with the trophy ceremony.   RIP.   My condolences to the family.

Irv is all about the LOVE.  The first time I met Irv and Blanch it was clear to me how much love they shared. I thought Michael and Eric were just the luckiest to have Grandparents who displayed the purity of being in Love. Thanksgivings especially stand out to me as a time we often were graced with the laughter and JOY of Irv and Blanch visiting the boys in LA. They are an inspiration to all. Irv’s smile will continue wash over us like rain drops of goodness blessing everyone of us who have been touched by him. All my love and prayers. 

I remember Irv's honesty and how I always marveled at the fact that he came from a different generation where transparency was key. He would often tell Michael if a movie he starred in was "no good" or if he wasn't keen on a girl he was dating... it was effortless for Irv. So effortless, it was comical. Among many of his honest moments, one stands out for me -- 

I'd seen a pre-screening of the film "Napoleon Dynamite" and thought it was the funniest movie I'd seen in decades. I told Michael about the film and insisted he'd see it, and also told him I'd join him for a second round. Since Irv & Blanche were in town, they came along.. Michael and I howled the entire movie, whereas Irv & Blanche laughed modestly here and there. When the movie was over, Michael asked Irv what he thought of the film. Irv proceeded to complain - almost on the border of rage - at how "stupid" the film was. He couldn't understand why we thought it was so hilarious and continued to proclaim that it was the "stupidest" film he'd ever seen. He was livid!! And his honest anger, for whatever reason, made the film that much more funny to us. Years later, if I'd brought up that outing to him, he would just grimace and wave me off -- and I loved it.
